Downtown Farmingdale shop- pers will be able to win free tickets to the coming Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus when it opens at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, from Nov. 10 to 21. A total of fifty tickets will be given away by the Farmingdale Post and the participating merchants on Main Street. Two lucky winners can be a neigh- borhood hero or take his whole family or perhaps even his son or daughter's friends. The two grand prize winners will each receive a block of ten tickets to the circus each. The next four winners will receive five circus tickets each, enough for the average size family. The next five winners will each receive a pair of tickets. The pass-exchange tickets may be traded at the Nassau Coliseum box office for $7.50 reserved seat tickets for any performance (except Friday night, Saturday or Sunday) while the Circus is in the area. All our readers have to do is to clip the coupons in the centerfold ad of this week's edition of the Post and take them to any of the listed participating merchants. The coupons will be collected in the stores until Monday, Nov. 8.

But while the ghoulies and ghosties are probably just fellow trick or treaters, there are some precautions that should be taken to insure a happy and healthy Halloween for all according to Oyster Bay Town Councilman Joseph J. Saladino. Saladino Urged parents to check all treats before letting children have them, and not to let them eat any food or candy which is opened or punctured. He warned against letting youngsters enter strange houses and suggested that children travel in two's and three's rather than alone and carry a flashlight to light their way as well as make them more visible. He added that trick or treaters should follow a route that avoids street crossings and that parents should ac- company younger children during their Halloween travels. Youth Of Murder Edwin Fuller, 22, of Central Islip was found guilty this week in Nassau County Court for the killing of 16 year old gas station attendant Thomas Moran of Bethpage at a Farmingdale station last Feb. 18. Sentencing was set for Nov. 19 by Judge Raymond Harrinton. Fuller is one of three charged with the killing. He faces a maximum 25 years to life sen- tence on the second degree murder charge alone. He was also found guilty by the jury of manslaughter in the first degree and three counts of robbery in the first degree. Fuller and two other youths were arrested March 28 for the robbery-slaying at The South Farmingdale Gas Value station at Main St. and Motoi Ave. Police traced a .38 caliber revolver found in Hempstead on March 19, and used in the slaying to the three youths. The other two defendants are Donald Evans, 17, and Gary Thompson, 20, both of 32 State Ave., Wyandanch. Evans' trail on similar charges is to begin Nov. 19 with Thompson's to begin after Evans' is completed. Costumes should be selected to give the child maximum mobility. Light colors are preferable and store-bought costumes should be checked to m n « ^i| i see that they are fire-retardant. I urn BaCK LIOCK Masks should have large holes for the eyes to permit unob- structed vision and should not block the mouth or nose. \The Town receives a few letters each year asking that we ban trick or treating in the Town because of the inherent dangers,\ Saladino commented. \We feel it would be unfair to eliminate this traditional children's holiday, but urge parents to observe a few safety measures that will enhance everyone's enjoyment of HaHoween.\ At 2 p.m. Sunday morning we will officially return to Standard Time, so we can officially welcome Halloween and the return to the regular time schedule on the same day. As far as our clocks are con- cerned, since most of us won't be waiting up until 2 a.m. for the sake of being \official\ it would be wise to remember to turn the hands BACK one hour before going to bed. The hour's sleep we lost last spring we can now regain. Also on the ballot is a proposition to allow the operation of \Las Vegas Nights\ in the Town of Oyster Bay by clubs a charitable organizations. The \main event,\ of course, is the race for President of the United States and Vice President. The incumbent Republican- Conservative President Gdrald R. Ford and his running mate Senator Robert Dole face the challenge of former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter and Sen. Walter F. Mondale on the Democratic and Liberal lines. Republican-Conservative U.S. Senator James L. Buckley will face Democrat-Liberal Daniel P. Moynihan for New York State's seat in the U.S. Senate. Also to be selected are six Justices of the Supreme Court, two County Court Judges and three District Court Judges. Nassau County Clerk Harold W. McConnell is seeking re- election on the Republican and Conservative lines and faces Democrat Anthony D. Galluccio and Liberal Jack Olchin. Incumbent Democrat Jerome A. Ambro seeks re-election to the Third District seat in the House of Representatives against op- position from Oyster Bay Councilman Howard T. Hogan, Jr. on the Republican and Con- servatives lines. Oyster Bay Town Councilman Thomas Clark seeks a full term seat on the Republican and Conservative lines against op- position by Democrat-Liberal Gerald Twombly. State Senator Owen Johnson is seeking re-election to his 4th Senate District Seat on the Republican and Conservative lines. Democrat-Liberal Hillard Boss opposes Johnson. Two State Assembly races affect the Fafmingdale area. In the llth District, Incumbent Republican-Conservative Phil Healey seeks re-election v to his Assembly seat in Albany. He faces Democrat Roberta Miller. In the 10th District in the Village of Farmingdale, the incumbent is Democrat Louis Yevoli. Former Assemblyman Stuart Levine is seeking to return to his old seat on the Republican and Con- servative tines. WBSmSBBt i
